With Dr. Molly Maloof

Download MP3

We can biohack our biology to get fitter, younger, and more resilient. But too many biohacking tools combined with the stressors of everyday life can cause the reverse effect, especially in women, resulting in weight gain, burnout, and less resilience to stress. The key is finding the right balance for you.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Molly Maloof to talk about how women can biohack their lives to reignite their spark in a way that’s sustainable for their unique biology and health goals. Dhru and Molly discuss how women can safely support their hormonal, sexual, and everyday health today and into the future using diet and lifestyle.

In her new book, The Spark Factor, Dr. Molly shares her research on mitochondrial health, hormones, nutrition, relationship development, mindset coaching, and so much more to help you develop lifestyle changes that target the unique female biology and provide lifetime benefits. It’s available for preorder here.
